An owner of property in Iron and Ashland counties that was the site of a contentious proposal to mine iron ore is trying to resurrect plans for the mine, an Iron County economic development official said.

Officials of La Pointe Iron Co., one of the owners of the property that Gogebic Taconite unsuccessfully sought to develop as a massive open pit mine, met with local representatives in Hurley on Wednesday to discuss reviving the plans.

Kelly Klein, director of development for the Iron County Development Zone, said he and others met with La Pointe representatives, who told them they are eager to find another developer for the site.

Packers' Rodgers on Peterson: 'We are kind of tired hearing about it'

Bob Costas of NBC's "Football Night in America," interviewed both running back Adrian Peterson of the Vikings and quarterback Aaron Rodgers of the Packers in bits that aired before the start of the Vikings at Packers telecast

Peterson was asked about the comment made earlier in the week by linebacker Clay Matthews, who said the Packers would do a better job stopping the run.

“That'll be fine with me," Peterson said. "I'm going out trying to win. I'm not trying to break no records. I'm not worried about yardage. I'm worried about getting a ‘W’ when that last second went off the clock in the fourth quarter.”

Rodgers was asked about Peterson's success against Green Bay.

“As far as we’re concerned, we are kind of tired of hearing about it," Rodgers said. "We want to see our defense shut him down. We’ve played him twice and he had, I believe, 210 yards in the first game and 199 last week. He’s fun to watch if he’s playing someone else.”

Rodgers talked about what changes for him in the postseason.

“I really believe that you earn your paycheck during the season, and play at a high level, and get your team to the playoffs," Rodgers said. "And then the post-season is all about creating your legacy. The great quarterbacks are remembered for their playoff successes and triumphs and Super Bowl championships and Super Bowl MVPs. We've got one here and we want to add to that.”
